What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

What the heck is going on….this morning was 6.8….and honestly I didn’t have that many cherries! Went to the gym and saw that my glucose went way up when I was lifting…to 7.5. I was concerned but put it down to a new sensor. Got home and scoffed at the 7.7 reading…then I tested my blood…7.7
I may have a minor infection….hope that’s it. If not my pancreas may be just getting worse. If these numbers continue (they are highly unusual for me) I will ask for a c peptide and a fasting insulin test. I have treated the possible UTI so we shall see…
Edited to add that there will be zero carbs passing my lips for a bit….those beautiful fresh BC blueberries will have to be frozen….
 
5.4 today expected to be a little lower chilli con carne for dinner (without rice). was surprised at graph didn't have the usual meal time spike up several mmol's. instead a more sustained less arched graph for a good few hours longer than usual all within 3mmol :O

couple of wheatabix and off swimming after coffee
 
Morning all, 5.44 mmol/L at 6 am this morning. (Still taking Medrol for a minor knee injury), FBG was elevated a little). Cherries are in season and on sale in California. Got lots of cherries for the family. No Cherries for me. I only eat Kiwi
. Nice sunny weather for a week or so. Have a nice day everyone
 
hopefully your knee injury will heal up nice and fast ps I've been hunting for RUBY kiwis ever since you mentioned them to no avail m&s stated they had them in some stores... travelled over 200 miles so far to try locate them gold ones are sweet not brave enough to try a full one... a tiny wee sliver suffices whilst daughter gorges on the rest. greens aren't anywhere near as nice
 
OrsonKartt[/USER] you seem to be holding steady with FBG. Hope the new regime is going well assume your still LC diet. Take care all.[/QUOTE]


Thanks for your thoughts…So far so good. Yep still pretty much carnivore…..Putting on a few kilos despite no real change in diet … but I was getting pretty skinny so no big panic at mo but have half an eye open , just in case …

I’ve just recieved an appointment with an NHS endo in September. I’m guessing this is to check that alls well ? Or maybe a precursor of a scan the private endo recommended.

Who knows ? Not me but I guess I’ll find out in a month or so …

6.3 immediately after waking, 5.6 and dropping moments later. On to day two of zero carbs, I am committed. After some reevaluation I was indeed eating far too many, for me, carbs. The “carb creep” was indeed a thing. I gave myself a good talking to….and I listened.
Coffee with butter and collagen, a sugar free beef stick for breakfast, eggs and bacon for lunch with a slice of cheddar. As much water as I can stand….
Supper will be chicken fingers (coated with pork panko).
Numbers were still high at the gym but not as high as yesterday. I imagine my liver has some extra fuel to get rid of…I don’t expect to see any significant results for a week.

if your not keen on water maybe try ice/crushed ice i can tolerate that better than water straight from the tap. water for me needs to be ice cold

I go for the fizzy mineral water myself. Sounds daft but somehow I find a sweetness in the fizz
